Heading to the big celebration? Here's your fun stay, complete with a selection of costume pieces to borrow for the June 24 parade.

SO YOU ARRIVE AT PRIDE, and you're seeing old friends, and you're enjoying the lively tunes, and you're soaking up the fantastic community spirit, but then... you realize... darn it. You just aren't quite ready for the parade. Maybe you forgot to pack a few amazing pieces you totally meant to include, or maybe you were just too busy with work, ahead of the celebratory weekend, to get it together on the awesome outfit front. Whatever the situation, it comes down to this: When a hotel can step in, and not only provide a comfortable stay, plus a host of amenities and delightful details, but an interesting costume piece, too, well, that hotel is well-deserving of a high five. And it turns out that...

STANFORD COURT HOTEL... in Nob Hill will be doing just that over the June 23-24 weekend via its Pride Package. For sure, some cool add-ons, like a "(f)estive tote bag" are part of the package, and a pair of drink vouchers for the hotel's swanky Seven Stills Nob Hill Bar & Lounge, and a bubble wand, which feels just right for the effervescent-of-spirit, buoyant-of-outlook event. But guests who book the Pride Package can also visit the hotel's pop-up "costume accessory closet" should they desire a fun or colorful wearable for the San Francisco Pride Parade, which raises the vibe and brings the joy on Sunday, June 24. Going to the parade? It's all dancing along Market Street from the Embarcadero to Civic Center.
